What’s the general opinion of going into Industry? I plan on getting a degree in actuarial mathematics and be an actuary and focus on quantitative analysis and then get a masters degree in financial engineering and be a quant. Then in my old age I’ll be a professor with a PhD. Should I just go into academia or sell my soul to Industry? I would love to just work at a college and teach but financially it would be best to do Industry work before academic.
